Each grid node is a separate Omnidex environment, with an environment file, indexes and data. For convenience, there are methods to share a single Omnidex environment file across multiple nodes. There are also methods to share data files across multiple nodes. text/html 2012-10-26T14:26:44+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v50/doku.php?id=admin:grid:distribution&rev=1351261604&do=diff Designing Omnidex Grids Determining a Distribution Plan Once the database is partitioned into grid nodes, the nodes must be distributed to grid servers. Some Omnidex Grids reside on a single server, such as a large, multi-core machine with a RAID array or a SAN. Other Omnidex Grids are distributed to multiple servers, each of which can have their own multi-core processors and independent disk drives. There are several questions that should be answered to determine the distribution plan. text/html 2012-10-26T14:26:44+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v50/doku.php?id=admin:grid:overview&rev=1351261604&do=diff Omnidex Grids Overview Omnidex Grids are a feature of the Omnidex product line that allow large databases to be distributed across multiple processors or servers. This improves performance by allowing a query to be processed on the fewest nodes possible using multiple concurrent processors. This approach allows great scalability and provides convenient mechanisms for adding new data to the database. text/html 2012-10-26T14:26:45+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v50/doku.php?id=admin:grid:partitions&rev=1351261605&do=diff Designing an Omnidex Grid Determining a Partitioning Scheme Omnidex Grids provide high performance by allowing a large database to be partitioned into a set of smaller databases called grid nodes. One distinct advantage of this is that some queries can be resolved to a smaller subset of nodes. When Omnidex optimizes a query, it may be able to determine that the query can be resolved by accessing the indexes and data on only a few of the nodes. This can produce significant improvements in pe…
